I had the privilege of speaking to Dan about 3-4 weeks ago in Atlanta Bread Company. He indicated he had been sick but seemed to be perfectly fine at the time. It was the first time I had seen him since I left Sq D in 1990. He still looked the same to me. I didn't know him well but always enjoyed working with him on occasion. He seem to always get a kick out of the way we southerners talked, and he told me he finally learned to understand it and gave me a couple of examples, both of which were funny. I'm so glad I was able to see him once again after so many years. I know the family will miss him terribly. My prayers are with you.

My old and dear friend is gone - much to my dismay. To Marshall, with whom I have had several conversations, as well as the other family: You will miss your father as will I. Take care of yourself as he would have wanted. I send my deepest sympathy and join you in tears.
